Glad to be above the affected ice area. Prayers for ALL!
God,
We lift the world into Your hands as this snowstorm approaches.
We ask for protection over every home, every road, every person who has to be out in the cold.
Cover the vulnerable—the unhoused, the elderly, the sick, the tired—with warmth, shelter, and mercy.
Guide first responders, utility workers, and anyone serving others tonight.
Give them clarity, strength, and safe passage.
Calm the storm where it needs calming, and let it pass without devastation.
Bring peace into anxious hearts.
Remind us to check on one another, to slow down, to choose kindness over impatience.
Let this storm become a moment of stillness instead of fear.
We trust You with what we cannot control.
We rest in Your care.
In Jesus name
Amen. ❄️🤍
Thank you! I am not in Mississippi and those folks may be getting an inch and a half. Truly scary. I love the green and the water in the mid Atlantic but sometimes there's a price for the beauty. For those in the deep south, this might be a once in a lifetime storm. Prayer for those in the path.
Are you old enough to remember the year Florida was hit with 3 or 4 hurricanes in one season? And the year it burned? I don't think I would live in Florida without a mobile home to have a place to lay your head when it goes down.
I lived in NC a couple of years. They are not prepared, at least not for ice and snow removal. I chipped ice off my car for 45 min., drove to work, no one else was there! It took a week or more before they got the local roads cleared.
It is not awful to be snowed or iced in, if the heat does not go out!
Been through a 10 day ice outage and a 7 day hurricane outage. The good thing about the ice one is that food is preserved and ice can be melted to flush toilets.
Question: Do they fit Southern market vehicles with All weather tires or are they considered summer or "3 season" tires?
I bought a focus st in the fall and those Firestone F1s were useless under 45F...Had to immediately drop $1250 on high performance all weather tires just so I wouldn't wreck the damned thing!
That is some deadly temps. Stay safe. I grew up in Northern Utah. There is a whole different mind set for survival and one builds and provides accordingly. Just like there is in tornado alley and along hurricane coasts.
I’m on the border between ice and glaze. Hoping we don’t lose power. I live in the coastal plains of NC. We never installed a whole house generator as we had planned bc of getting flooded with 6 feet of river water after Hurricane Flo. A generator here would have been useless after a flood and/or during a bad hurricane. Even those in my neighborhood who didn’t flood after Flo had their gas turned off bc of the flooding and they couldn’t use their generators anyway. Our builder told us if you ever really need a generator here it would a good idea just to leave instead.
So only time. I’d thought we’d be needing one is if we have an ice storm. And those are not common here in the semi tropics. But tomorrow may be a different story.
I built my house four years ago the way I wanted to! Everybody who watched me build it was scratching their heads wondering why I put six inch exterior wall up instead of the regular four inch. Then what really blew their minds was the two inches of Styrofoam insulation I put on the outside of the house. I wanted a Yeti cooler for a house and I got it. Tonight it is 25* F outside and we do not have the mini splits running because of the passive solar we got all day long through our sliding doors. Tonight when the temps will fall down into the single digits I will not be running any heat, but if I get cold I can always put on an extra blanket to stay warm. Heck, my kid in the basement regularly turns on the air conditioner to cool down on cold nights because the Earth heats up the floor. My garage is not insulated expect with the 2" Styrofoam and on freezing nights it is fairly comfortable out there.
Build a house the way you want it to preform, not like the government says you need to build it.

Beautifully composed. Thank you.
I'd like to take credit but it was chatgpt, I usually put that in my post, must have forgotten
What a beautiful prayer!
You certainly get it!
We are above the ice area too, in the snow area.
Your prayers are wonderful! "Let this storm become a moment of stillness"!
chatgpt is pretty poetic
Amen to one beautiful prayer. Thank you from one in the ice zone, surrounded by big trees.
Me, too!
Oh Lord! Bless you and yours, saying an extra prayer for you specifically.

my father is in florida and is at 65 degrees the lucky bastard

wow that's intense, no I never heard of it
I hope you Sethern folk have prepared...
My Walmart is about empty of produce and meat. Interesting how people think this is the end of civilization around these parts.
Lol. They wouldnt last a day in a northern climate
If you you're stuck for a long period and you have babies and kids to feed, not being stocked up would be a parent's nightmare.
Well you know what Vic says...

Summer tires and ice storms are not a good mix...

They also get heavy rains. After my vehicle lost all traction on the highway, I went back to Michelin.
Hydroplaning with pucker your seat...😂😂😂
Can't steer when the tires have no grip on the road!
That's when they speed up!!!
Polar condition along the northern border. -20F standing with -40 wind factor

I’m on SW Ohio and suspect this is not just mother nauture. The chemtrails have been off the chain for the past few weeks.
And for once, none in so md. Figured they were busy poisoning somewhere else.

KUDOS!
Well we are in a commercial build, but husband has arctic sleeping bags if it comes to that.
